Dissolution of the federation
The Netherlands Antilles was an autonomous federation within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. They consisted mainly of the Curaçao Islands, Bonaire and the Dutch part of Saint Martin, plus some small secondary islands. Saint Martin is an island shared with France.
In October 2010, this federation of islands dissolved to evolve differently: Curaçao and Sint Maarten became autonomous states within the kingdom of the Netherlands, the islands of Bonaire, Saba and Saint Eustache were united to the Netherlands as special status municipalities.
